Great job Alex. I enjoyed your talk, I especially appreciated your mention to how people may learn differently from one another. I think this might even make a great talk in itself, where you could talk about your experience, and things you have done that have helped you. Also I think it is worth publicly talking about the fact that some people just get it, while others have to work for it. But even if you do have to work hard doesn't make you less of a programmer or not worthy of being in this field.
In terms of your talk, I think you do well presenting. I realized this was an intro talk, so this is only personal preference, but I would have loved more in depth talk on interfaces. Since you still had a bit of time, I would add some more examples to walk through.

This talk was really approachable. As a programmer just starting to learn PHP, this talk still made a lot of sense. Great job!
